i can't say i didn't feel free in the UK, just annoyed about the anti speed hardware, i mean, it's not a fair fight, i much rather have anonymous cars in traffic going after the real antisocial drivers, tailgaters, unstable drivers, drunk drivers and what not... That kind of traffic enforcement, i don't mind, because i know i'm not an objective target for them.

Getting caught on a speed trap, to me is pretty much meaningless, if and when i get caught, i'm statistically still winning. And morally i do not consider my "violation" a big one.

I drive a car that has a chassis and brakes designed for higher speeds i drive.
I don't tailgate, i don't really drive nervously, and i adjust my speed if the circumstances do not allow it..

Ok , that's very much a relative factor, but you'll have to take my word for it, that i have a decent amount of car control, and i know how to respond to a lot of the variables.


I have to say one thing though, traffic in the UK, is VERY polite.
More so then Holland, Belgium or France. Nevermind the more southern countries.
And i felt quite at home, even with my LHD car, on their LHD roads...
The average driver-behavior and -ability combination, seems to be of a higher standard compared to Holland, Belgium and France. ( politeness, giving way, tailgating, lack of nervous driving, car handling, Situational Awareness...), there hardly was anything to annoy me, other then the M-25 Tjams, and the camera's...
